About
Come and meet the West Yorkshire Astronomical Society at the Rosse Observatory in Carleton, Pontefract which was opened on 25th September 1983.
This is your chance to see the facilities and gaze into the night sky. The evening will commence with a short talk by Terry Dobson about Beagle 2, then you will be able to look round the observatory and go up into the Dome to see the large telescope. There will also be telescopes and binoculars out on the pad for you to look through.
Hopefully, weather permitting, you will be able to view Saturn and Jupiter as well as other objects in the night sky!
Pre-booking required. Please state ‘Heritage Night’ on your email when booking at: young.astronomers.wyas@gmail.com
